"The Best Man Holiday," Films, Black Films, and Wtfery

This started as a Facebook post but kept getting longer and longer.  That’s when I realized that it’s been damn near three months since I’ve posted anything here. Sorry… Anyway, a friend  linked to this on her FB page, and I have to say it pissed me off so much that it brought me out […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Miley Cyrus’ Grotesque VMA Performance

There are many articles popping up (such as this one), stating that Miley Cyrus is privileged and shouldn’t be using aspects of “black” culture. Here’s what I think: I have to say that I don’t like the idea that those particular things are associated  with black culture.  Sure they’re part of some kind of culture–ghetto […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Ben Affleck is the new Batman

Ben Affleck has signed on to be the new Bruce Wayne.  Or at the very least, he’ll be donning the cape as The Dark Knight. I… When I saw the ending of “The Dark Knight Rises,” and the clever way Nolan went about incorporating Robin without calling him that or putting him in tights, and […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Breaking Bad Final Days

I saw the season premier yesterday, and also watched Breaking Bad: Talking Bad.  One of the things mentioned is will Walt be killed in the end, and will he have to kill Jesse? Here’s my take: * Walt can’t/won’t kill Jesse.  Jesse knows that Walt had Mike bumped off, and Walt desperately wants him to […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Daria, the High School Reunion

So, I saw this fake trailer for a Daria movie: I love the idea, but disagree hardcore on the casting. Here’s my line up for a film: Daria Morgendorffer: Anna Chlumsky.  I don’t know why–I’ve seen her around in stuff and it just feels right.  She’d need a hair rinse, of course.  Or Leelee Sobieski. Quinn […]

Diary of a Fangirl: The Wolverine

Let me start this by saying that there has thus far absolutely not one solidly good X-Men film (in my opinion) in well…ever.  Each and every single solitary one has disappointed me in some shape or form.  I can’t narrow it down to one specific thing, or even one specific character portrayal.  But when I […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Much Ado About Nothing

Through a series of serendipitous events, I happened across a couple of tickets to a pre-screening of Joss Whedon’s “Much Ado About Nothing.”  I’ve never read the play or seen any adaptation of it, so I went in totally cold.  For those who are just as clueless as I was, it’s a modern spin on […]
